If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via our website, please notify our copyright agent as set forth below.

For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing:

• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on our website
